by Megan Gustashaw
Vittorio Zunino Celotto

If there’s one party-friendly color combo we’ll never grow tired of it’s black and gold (red and green girls, we are not). Glamorous, sophisticated and the perfect match to bold burgundy lipstick, the pairing is especially practical in the form of accessories, which can be worn long after the ball drops on New Year’s Eve. Find your perfect bronzed add-on below, then get out there and turn some heads. Need a little bit more help in that department? RZ has you covered.

Strappy Heels

Gucci, $795

These knotted cage sandals are refined enough for formal black-tie affairs but still maintain and edgy-glam feel. The gold stiletto heel will stop the Instagram paps in their tracks.

Oversized Cuff

Fendi, $700

Chain link jewelry never goes out of style and this oversized cuff is a cool way to play with the classic style. Pair with a high-gloss plum manicure for a luxe look.

Glitter Clutch

Glint, $58

Your everyday shoulder bag, pretty though it is, might be too much for a night out. Instead, elevate your look with a structured, shimmery clutch.

Velvet Slippers

Alexander McQueen, $895

Go against the grain by opting for menswear-inspired slippers over typical heels. Pick a pair rendered in nighttime appropriate satin, velvet or patent leather for a dressy look.

Edgy Choker

Linda Farrow x Mawi, $1200

Grunge is cool but we love the minimalist side of the '90s trend. Take the look for a test run with this watersnake choker, a floor-length slipdress and strappy heels.

Glam Minaudiere

Zara, $60

A too-small clutch is never fun; this vintage-inspired option is just the right size and will work with anything from a chic tuxedo blazer to an ornate cocktail dress.

Party Platforms

Charlotte Olympia, $795

Our girl Charlotte Olympia knows how to make a fun pair of pumps. This mirrored-sole pair is unapologetically festive but still classic enough to wear all year long.

Statement Ring

Maiyet, $595

Sometimes all that a look needs is an over the top piece, like this weighty, eye-catching cocktail ring, to finish things off right.

Baublebar, $34

Add a little bit of jazz age flair to a black or jewel-tone dress with this easy pendant necklace. (P.S., love the price!)

Jeffrey Campbell, $170

The oversized buckle on this pair of bronzed pumps will add a sophisticated, sexy edge to pencil skirts and leather dresses.
